Sexually transmissible HPV infection is highly prevalent in the British population, particularly among young women, the second National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (Natsal-2) has revealed. HPV DNA was detected in 29% of urine samples from women and 17% of samples from men. Natsal-2 used a probability sample of the population aged 16-44 years, resident in Britain. A total of 11,161 people were interviewed for the study.
